Maldivian Bread

Cultural Context

Originating from the Maldives, Maldivian Bread, or Roshi, is a staple in the local diet, often enjoyed with fish curries or vegetables. Traditionally made with simple ingredients, it reflects the resourcefulness of Maldivian cooking, where fresh seafood and coconut are central. Today, it is cherished not only in the Maldives but also in various coastal regions of South Asia, adapting to local tastes and ingredients.
